That varies from teacher to teacher. Some make no bones about "manipulating God" or using "the force of faith" to get what you want.

Others have learned that they can "score more points" with evangelicals by telling us we should "be like Jesus" in the way we use faith. He is Lord, to W-O-F teachers, because He is more powerful, having unlimited mastery of the force of faith. And, of course, He has the right of a Creator over His creation, as the potter has over the clay. But, they say, He has graciously given us the ability to employ "the force of faith" as well. That, they say, is how Man is made "in His image."
